I’m having a clear out of my loft and I found this destination blind. I’m guessing by the list of destinations it is from a class 310 or 312 EMU but I am not sure. Does anyone know? (Once I find out where it’s from I was going to list it on eBay. I don’t suppose anyone on the forum is interested?)

I have some old railway magazines: RAIL, Railways Illustrated, entrain, and Modern Railways largely from 2003-2005 era. Also some Modern Railways from 1963 and 1964. I remember when I was younger you could often buy these at preserved railways which were presumably donated by visitors but I...

From BBC News: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgz5p0r58go.amp This is something the TUs have been calling on for a while, will be interesting to see if any of the mainline Tocs follow suit.

A new role working in the new Rail Control Centre has just been advertised for external applicants on the TfL website. https://tfl.taleo.net/careersection/external/jobdetail.ftl?job=046849

Can anyone advise me what exactly is the purpose of the OBB [Austrian Railways] journey planner? A few months ago I was in Vienna at the Airport and wanting to go to Bratislava. Rather than take the coach I fancied a more interesting route and one suggested by the OBB journey planner was to...

I arrived at one of the satellite terminals at Stansted this weekend. Whilst the departures area of that satellite has been recently modernised and refurbished, the arrivals area is a bit of a time warp, with carpet in many public areas and 1990s BAA signage still in place. One thing that...

I had a recent domestic flight within Norway to Bergen whereby all the boarding pass, airport departure boards and announcements all referred to the destination of my flight as "Bergen." On board the plane however all the announcements referred to the airport as "Flesland." This, understandably...

I have recently bought a ticket through TrainSplit which TrainSplit has done a split ticket with an Advance from Kings Cross to Retford and a TPx+HT SDS from Retford to Scunthorpe. As the person travelling is a wheelchair user which requires the wheelchair space reserved and staff to deploy...

Having booked a recent flight in the USA I noted the flight as per the airline will be departing at “1:07 PM” (also note use of the 12-hour clock), and the flight time is 2 hours and 8 minutes. Most other countries flights seem to be advertised as at :x0 or :x5. Although I was watching a 1990s...

A ticket was held with an itinerary on LNER with a 20 minute connection onto Transpennine. The LNER was 50 minutes late arriving at the interchange station which ordinarily would have meant the connection onto Transpennine was missed, meaning an over two hour delay to the destination. However...

Wizzair, like Ryanair, deliberately splits up passengers travelling together on the same booking, so I prefer to pay extra for reserved seats. With Ryanair this isn't too much of an issue as you can get seats starting from £3 or £4 each. A recent booking with Wizzair, on a return flight booking...

The forum team will be testing some changes to the design and layout of the site over the coming few weeks. You may notice in particular banners of a different size (this will primarily affect users on a laptop or desktop computer) or some appearing in different places to usual. Please bear...

Amsterdam airport has been quite notorious for queues this year with the airport setting out marquees on the forecourt and themselves setting a target of 4 hours, but even then there have been reports of people missing flights! This has even been the case into September with the ending of a...

Does anyone know what “CD” means, printed at the top right of a standard orange credit card sized ticket? It’s issued with a 26-30 Railcard discount; precious tickets have just had a “D” printed in the same place. Ticket is an Advance Single.
